و حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَا وَحَمْزَةُ الزَّيَّاتُ مِنْ أَبَانَ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ نَحْوًا مِنْ أَلْفِ حَدِيثٍ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَلَقِيتُ حَمْزَةَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَنَامِ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ مَا سَمِعَ مِنْ أَبَانَ فَمَا عَرَفَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا شَيْئًا يَسِيرًا خَمْسَةً أَوْ سِتَّةً.

Suwaid bin Sa'eed narrated to me, he said: '"Ali bin Mushir narrated to us: 'Hamzah Az-Zayyat and I heard approximately one thousand Ahadith from Aban bin Abi 'Ayyash."' 'Ali said: 'I met Hamzah, and he told me that he saw the Prophet (s.a.w) in a dream, and he told him what he had heard from Aban, and he did not recognize anything except a few things, five or six."'
